The Symposium

The symposium is divided into two parts.

Senior government officials, NGO’s, eGovernment experts will come together to discuss the evolving relationship between eGovernment and eParticipation and to critically re-examine the way in which ‘readiness’ in these areas is defined and measured globally.

In Budapest  26-28 July, 2006 the stage will be set for discussion and debate around the critical challenges stakeholders face as they struggle to deliver the full potential of e-Government. 
In Baltimore 2-4 August, 2006 the aim is to take the discussion further by exploring new and emerging applications in USA that has pioneered the art of online campaigning but now faces the challenge of translating e-advocacy tools into more inclusive governing.

The Symposium is aimed at all stakeholders -  laymen as well as academics with an interest in the field of  local e-participation and local e-democracy.
